Traxxas

Traxxas

Traxxas has been in The radio controlled business for 16 or 17 years and they have won who knows how many awards for NITRO MONSTER TRUCKS but not for electric car they don't pay muck attetion to the other cars they have like the Traxxas Bandit. The only one that they pay attentean to is the E-Maxx thats a great truck but what about the rustler and stampede they only have two videos for electric cars the Rustler and the 4-tec and the videos are 20 seconds of the car driving and some music. They don't even have any setup sheets, I sure want some setup sheets. Some good cars but nothing about them.

After 20-plus years on the frontlines of World-Class RC competition, legendary motor builder Mike Reedy has announced that he will be stepping down from his position at Associated Electrics after the Reedy Race of Champions this weekend.

Mike is retiring at the top of his game, having supplied the power to an unprecedented 25 IFMAR World Champions, including the current onroad Touring Car World Champion and the current offroad 2WD World Champion, as well as most of the current ROAR Electric National Champions. This is a record that many expect will never be equaled.
